By Inferno's Light Virtual Pack

I didn't do this for EVERY letter, but the first few AtoZ "expansions" had working booster packs of 15 cards, sorted like so: 11 commons (of 112 possibilities), 3 uncommons (of 117 possibilities) and 1 rare (of 107 possibilities). Which means that every time you refresh this page, you will get a different distribution of cards! Makes a nice palate cleanse before heading into the Encyclopedia's C's. Note that Enhanced By Inferno's Light would have been 5 special packs with set card lists, and B's Broken Links would have come in a 40-page box, so those cards aren't in the booster.

[C+ 56-65] Connelly to Corn Chowder

This time: An O'Brien! THE ENTRIES: [61] Connelly [62] cordafin [63] core matrix [64] Corgal Research Center [65] corn chowder NOTES:  [61] In spite of the lore, Connelly is NOT an infiltrator. He is the frontpiece of box P4. Source: "Honor Among Thieves" [62] If a personnel were to be hit by second Cordafin Addiction (at another mission), it would not lose further skills (the disabled skills are still listed), but it would suffer a -4 penalty to attributes. Source: "Valiant" [63] So you can sacrifice an Attack Ship (with at least one staffer aboard) to further damage a ship in a battle. The Tactics have already had their effect by this time, so you can use the card to finish off an already damaged ship. Think of it as Autodestruct: Dominion. Source: "A Time to Stand" [64] The love interest (including spouses) may be listed on either personnel's lore. Personnel affected by Parallel Romance and such can be separated this way as well. Source: "C...

[C+ 56-60] Collins to Concerning Flight

Yet another Kira... THE ENTRIES: [56] Collins, Dorian [57] combooth [58] "Come Fly with Me" [59] comfort woman [60] "Concerning Flight" NOTES:  [56] Source: "Valiant" [57] Basically just like the various Communicator cards, but having a broader personnel base, though linked to a single planet. You can share skills even with an opposing personnel. Source: "Honor Among Thieves" [58] To cure the personnel, you must reunite it with a romantic interest (whether from its lore or the other personnel's lore) AND use a ship to get to either end of the spaceline or to Risa, if on spaceline. Source: "His Way" [59] Pretty basic, really, but it gives Bajorans a rare AU personnel. Source: "Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night" [60] The target personnel is "placed inside" the Glider for purposes of AtoZ bazooka-type cards. Source: "Concerning Flight" Next up: An O'Brien! Cards: Dorian Collins, Combooth, Come Fly With...

[C+ 51-55] Clyde to Colliculi

Watch the slang... THE ENTRIES: [51] Clyde [52] coaxial warp drive [53] Cobum, Admiral [54] coil spanner [55] colliculi NOTES:  [51] Stops a personnel that is Klingon species, but not Klingon affiliation (Borg still don't count). The second functions works equally on holographic personnel and equipment. The Square and Harvey cards will have to be Broken Links. Source: "Image in the Sand" [52] This means that particular ship doesn't have to go through navigational hazards to go from A to B. Its RANGE is not extended, so a RANGE of 8 allows for a move to a destination no more than 8 Span away. Relocated ships are never present at intervening locations so that it cannot be Hailed, or even Wormholed (never starts to move). Source: "Vis à Vis" [53] "Your Nor" is any Nor you played yourself. Source: "Favor the Bold" [54] It's an Empok Nor dilemma. Works well with Sleeper Trap, don't you think? Source: "Empok Nor" [55] You woul...

[C+ 46-50] Lola Chrystal to Class-4 Cloak

A Kira and a lot of class... THE ENTRIES: [46] Chrystal, Lola [47] Cinema Mystère [48] class-2 shuttlecraft [49] class-3 probe [50] class-4 cloak NOTES:  [46] Not any kind of persona of Kira Nerys. Lola is the frontpiece of box P3. Source: "His Way" [47] So it blows up only opposing holos, but deactivates even your own Program if it is present. Source: "The Killing Game, Part II" [48] If the ship is not a shuttle, discard the dilemma. You can select any one skill for a personnel to use (including a special skill), but a redshirting shuttle probably won't have the skill base to complete a mission or even pass some of the tougher dilemmas. Classifications are not considered skills here, and remain intact. You can switch which skill at any time during your own turn, but during opponent's turn, you will be stuck with whatever skill you finished with. Source: "Drone" [49] Can only be nullified by the same cards and conditions that uncloak a ship (includ...

[C+ 41-45] Christmas Carol to Chrysalis

One of Star Trek's rare Christmas references... THE ENTRIES: [41] Christmas Carol, A [42] chromodynamic shield [43] chromoelectric force field [44] chromoelectric pulse [45] "Chrysalis" NOTES:  [41] All the characters that are learning about humanity are included. The joke is that Data was using this program to learn about humanity, and Seven of Nine was later told to read the book for the same reason. Source: "Devil's Due" [42] The first effect works from all locations within this region, the second only on the specific spaceline location. The first effect is cumulative, but needs to be played on different region locations (it's one per location). The countdown puts a time limit on the Objective. Source: Star Trek: Insurrection [43] A kind of Dead End, I suppose, but it has a countdown. Source: "Retrospect" [44] Coaxial Warp Drive is an event that plays on a ship. If the third function is used, Transwarp Conduit cannot be played on the ship to...

[C+ 36-40] Chewing Gum to Chin' toka

This time: An unusual Quark... THE ENTRIES: [36] chewing gum [37] chief examiner [38] "Children of Time" [39] Chile [40] Chin'toka System NOTES:  [36] Baseball personnel have baseball mentioned in their lore. Switch artifacts with your opponent, then serve Chewing Gum, and they can't switch again on the next turn, or as long as the Gum is in play. Source: Referenced in "Take Me Out to the Holosuite", but pic from "The Big Goodbye" [37] Another Empathy/capture effect, but sufficiently different from Cardassian Trap. Source:  [38] So if a personnel is attributes 8-6-4, its INTEGRITY, CUNNING and STRENGTH are each equal to 18. For purposes of anything EXCEPT personnel battles, that personnel would be attributes 18-18-18. The Quark Computer is the frontpiece of box P1. Source: "Waking Moments" [39] A baseline Mind Location (let's just say the Encyclopedia was less than forthcoming about context here) that may be used on a LOT of personnel...

[C+ 31-35] Charlene to Chester

Who's hungry? THE ENTRIES: [31] Charlene [32] Chateau Latour [33] chateaubriand [34] cherries jubilee [35] Chester NOTES:  [31] The Doc's perfect wife. Source: "Real Life" [32] Holodecks may act as Food-serving sites for this Food card. Source: "The Killing Game" [33] It's all about tenderness. STRENGTH cannot go under 0, nor will that kill a personnel. Source: "His Way" [34] The Food that turns into a bomb! Some Food-serving Sites (like Quark's) are meant to be shared so you could destroy your opponent's drinks. Cherries Jubilee, while not a drink, is alcoholic. Source: "His Way" [35] Yes, Chester is both an Orion Syndicate personnel AND an O'Brien (all the best uses for this cat lie there). He may not pair up in personnel battle, but he may still die from a battle if he's selected after STRENGTH totals are compared. Source: "Honor Among Thieves" Next up: An unusual Quark. Cards: Charlene, Chateau Latour, Ch...

[C+ 26-30] Chandler to Charge of the Light Brigade

We might have to go black and white... THE ENTRIES: [26] Chandler, Lieutenant [27] "Change of Heart" [28] Chaotica, Doctor [29] Chapman, Admiral [30] "Charge of the Light Brigade, The" Decipher's version for comparison: NOTES:  [26] She must be where a Holodeck is present to download a Program card. Source: "Inquisition" [27] The personnel affected is not stopped so may beam back to a ship and, if possible, fly it to the other personnel's location. It counts as disabled for all other tasks, especially if it can't take control of a ship. If it can staff a ship alone, then you don't have any choice, and you must follow its imperative. If not, then it may have to wait, but you can't use the personnel. Source: "Change of Heart" [28] Any site with a Holodeck will do, but he must be there. Not projected, or simply on a ship with the Holodeck special equipment (or even Holosuite site). Dr. Chaotica is the frontpiece of box P5. Holode...

[C+ 21-25] Ch'Targh to Chamber of Opportunity

An Apollo tribute... THE ENTRIES: [21] Ch'Targh [22] chadre kab [23] Chadwick [24] Chaffee, Shutlecraft [25] Chamber of Opportunity NOTES:   [21] Source: "Sons and Daughters" [22] There's no real evidence to suggest this dish is native to the Delta quadrant. Former Borg are listed as such in their lore. Implant cards would have to be on a personnel at the Food-serving site. Source: "The Raven" [23] If Miles O'Brien present, you can download Connelly for a persona switch. Starfleet Intelligence are not the same as Section 31. Source: "Honor Among Thieves" [24] Finally, a shuttlepod to put inside smaller ships. I made them all landable without any other cards. Source: "The Sound of Her Voice" [25] Opponent cannot play this on the Tower of Commerce you played/seeded to block you. They can, if they expect you to play Ferengi, seed Tower first, so that it is theirs, and then block your usage of it that way. Source: "Family Business...

[C+ 16-20] Cassie to Centaur

A card that promises a lot of Broken Links... THE ENTRIES: [16] Cassie [17] Cave Beyond Logic, A [18] Caves of Kahless [19] cellular regeneration and entertainment chamber [20] Centaur, USS NOTES:  [16] The [SF] icon is the Science-Fiction icon which, Rules of Acquisition-like, finds itself on all the SF authors found in the Encyclopedia. Those that weren't produced back in the day, including Benny Russell, will show up in Broken Links. Cassie is the frontpiece for box P6. Source: "Far Beyond the Stars" [17] Gives changelings and Species 8472 the ability to use Nerve Pinches, among other things. The second function may allow you to download both cards at once. Source: "In the Flesh" [18] Right now, only the reporting ability can be used, but seeing as Day of Honor Program will only play on Klingon planets, this will make it more flexible. Source: "Day of Honor" [19] Since there's no way this invention would ever work, I've added the AU Door bit...
